or for use for a similar purpose, and is more particularly designed -forembodying a frame incorporated in a glove at an opening in the wristportion so that a wrist watch may be viewed therethrough, the frame,however, being attachable to a handbag or other supporting article.

The invention comprehends an assemblag which in addition to theattaching frame in- Specification of Letters Patent.

cludes a box-like body as well as a cover and frame therefor, the coverframe being detachably engageable with the securing frame and detachablyengaged by the box like body. The arrangement is such that the body maybe detached leaving the cover frame on the open securing frame for theviewing of a wrist watch or the cover frame with the body detaohablyheld thereto may be disengaged from the securing frame to constitute initself a portable vanity case apart from the securing frame.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specification, it being understood that the drawings are merelyillustrative of one example of the invention. 7

In carrying out my invention in accordance with. the illustrated examplean annular securlng frame 15 is provided adapted to-be applledto asupporting article such as a glove A, a handbag, or the like, having anopening or a cut-out therein. In the illustrated form the glove'has anopening in the back thereof at the wrist that a wrist watch may beviewed therethrough. The frame 15 1s formed from a blank 15* which isturned over on the annular score line indicated at 15*, Figure 7, toproduce the main upper flange and the narrower bottom flange 15. In theforming of the annular frame 15 there is produced or formed thereon atthe interior a narrow flange 15 and said frame at the opposed surfacesof the flange members thereof is formed with oblique ribs 15 or anequivalent roughened formation to give a gripping action on the materialof the glove A or the like. The assemblage in-. cludes with the frame 15a box-like body or receptacle 16 and a cover frame 17, the cover 18 ofwhich is suitably hinged as at 19 and provided with a nail grip 18 forlifting the Said cover snaps into engagement with a short neck orvertical annular flange 17 on the frame 17, there beinga dependingannular flange .17 at the opening of the frame at the under side of thelatter.

The cover frame 17 is adapted to be held to the frame 15 as follows: Inthe flange 15 is formed a notch l5 and on the cover frame 17 atdiametrically opposite sides of the appended claims.

opening thereof are formed out-turned lugs 17, 17 on the under flange 17The one flange 1 7 advantageously is wider than the flange 17. \Vith theconstruction described the broader flange 17 is passed beneath theflange 15 on the frame 15 diametrically opposite the notch 15 so thatthe smaller flange 17 may be passed through. the notch 15 beneath theflange 15 and the frame 17 then given a partial turn so that the flange17 is turned away from the notch 15 through which it entered.

The broadening of the flange 1'?" promotes convenience in entering thesame beneath the flange 15 in a way to effect a firm engagement as theframe is lowered to pass the flange 17 into the notch 15; Also, thegreater width of the flange 17 prevents it from escaping through not-ch15 so that only by bringing the narrow flange 17 to the notch 15 can thecover frame 17 be disengaged from the securing frame 15.

The detachable engagement between the receptacle 16 and the frame 17 isprovided for as follows: In the frame 17 at the under flange 17 thereofis a notch 17 and on the receptacle 16 at diametrically opposite sidesare, outwardly disposed ears 16 one smaller than the other. Thereceptacle 16 may be so placed against the cover frame 17 as'to enterone of the ears 16 beneath the under flange 17 so that the diametricallyopposite ear 16 may be passed through the notch 17 formed in said flange17", after which the receptacle isgiven a partial turn to take theentering ear 1 16* away from the said notch 17".

The described arrangement permits of the receptacle 16 being detachedfrom the cover frame 17 so that when said cover frame is held to thesecuring frame 15 on a glove for example, a through opening will beafforded for the viewing of a wrist watch. On the other hand with thereceptacle in place on the cover frame, the assemblage may be empipyedas a vanity case, coin holder, or the li e.

Again, the cover frame 17 with the receptacle 16 thereon may be readilydetached from the securing frame 15 so that the covered receptacle maybe worn with. a bracelet as inligure 3 or carried in a pocketbook orhandbag.

For securing the frame 17 to the snap hooks bof a bracelet or wrist bandB, I form diametrically opposite holes 17 f in said'cover frame.

I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated exampleconstitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limitmyself strictly. to the exact details herein illustrated, sincemanifestly the same can be conslderably varied without departure from.the splrit of the invention as .defined in the curing frame adapted tobe applied to a supporting article at an opening therein, a second framehaving a movable cover thereon, and a separate receptacle, said securingframe and cover frame having co-engaging fastener members to detachablyhold one frame to the other, and said receptacle and said cover framehaving co-engaging fastener members to detachably hold the cover frameto the receptacle.
